San Quirico d'Orcia, Medieval municipality in Val d'Orcia, Italy.
The stone buildings and narrow streets of San Quirico d'Orcia stretch across a hilltop at 409 meters elevation in the Province of Siena.
The Collegiata church, transformed from an 8th-century rural structure to its current form in the 12th century, displays a Lombard-style portal with carved columns.
The Horti Leonini gardens, established in 1561, demonstrate the architectural principles and geometric patterns typical of Italian Renaissance garden design.
San Quirico d'Orcia serves as a central point for exploring the Val d'Orcia region, positioned 35 kilometers from Siena and near Pienza and Montalcino.
The Palazzo degli Amerighi contained a resistance movement against Spanish forces threatening Siena during the conflicts of 1558-1559.
